Running Away to Get Back Home
II. Hangover with you
as you drive in Palm Beach County Florida traffic
to the bookstore cafe to draw
with your water-soluble graphite pencils
by Fiber Castell and
Prismacolor Pencils Y2K,
on Canson Mix Media Paper,
You make an impression on
a child there, keep drawing
as she scampers off
to walk with her
Mom.
You want to keep going
so you go to another coffee shop
where people focus on their work
on Laptops and Smart phones
while you draw with colored pencils
on paper
You run away to get back home,
back to the bar, you stay alone.
III. Another day,
same bookstore cafe,
with Crayola Colored Pencils
and paper in your bag,
you wave your wallet
Cheers to the baristas,
they know your name
they know your usual
they’ve kept you in the game
one Grande Latte drunk,
inspiration for a bracelet hits
You manifest at home,
then where it upon your wrist
to remember yourself
once again.

And now for the poem:
. A night at the bar
drawing with Crayola Colored Pencils
on cheap sketch paper
you catch reds, brasses, and browns
like gems
of memory you want to keep
When a weird guy hits on
you run away to get back home.

If you like that poem, I've got some more on here. They were written when I was a bit more idealistic after moving from the Mid-Atlantic to Palm Beach County Florida.

P.S. Remember to drink lots of water when you drink coffee or any of your favorite beverages so you don't become dehydrated and drowsy.
